Profile:
After half a decade of persistence, the young and effervescent
Haryana batsman appeared to finally establish his place in the
Indian Test and ODI sides. Whenever injuries to other players
afforded him an opportunity to play, he has grabbed it with both
hands. Although he had much success as an opener in one-day
cricket in partnership with Tendulkar, he has had to move down
the order. To his credit, this attractive strokeplayer, who is
also in possession of a compact defensive technique, has adapted
extremely well to his new role, displaying the ability to both
step up the run rate, or shore up the innings. His value to the
team is further highlighted by his outstanding abilities in the
field, where he can be counted on to save about 20 runs in every
match, most of them from his favourite haunt at backward point.
In addition, he bowls a useful gentle medium pace, much in the
vein of Mohinder Amarnath. He is probably the best finisher of
the game as he demonstrated in the World Cup 1996 Quarter Final
vs. Pakistan. Jadeja took over vice-captaincy from Anil Kumble
and when Azhar dropped out of two games, Jadeja did a good job as
captain, winning both the games. In the World Cup, Jadeja once
again consolidated his place as the best finisher of the game
with some intelligent shots in the slog overs. (Aditya N.
